The best language to use is rarely the hot language at the moment. You have to choose if you want to learn a business or learn a stack.
Not using php or something simple for you it will hold you back. Setting up a top of the line container devops system will slow you down and gives you a false sense that you are doing anything.
It is nice to start with the cleanest best office with a desk but if you spend your time focusing on making your office better you never focus on the actual job.
Years ago I worked for a guy who fell into this.
Successful career in insurance industry but going through a failed mariage he pivoted and quit his job and started a recruitoring firm. The office he rented was near my college and he offered me a job.. I was employee #1. First day we decided to skip work and we went on a bonding trip playing golf and go by his exes house to steal a chair. Everyday he would find something to do from making business cards, to buying office supplies to going to colleges to randomly meet people and tell them what we did. He hired two more college students to make a website. Everyday he found something to do.. but he never sat in the office and made the calls he needed to. There was always something else to do. When the money ran out (very soon) and he crashed his car drunk. No one got paid (aside from me) in the backrupacy. In the end he ended up back in insurance in a new relationship he found along the way.
He was playing CEO. Don't play CEO or CTO. Sit down and make the difficult calls.
